Craigslist Roundup

kidnapped BarbieLooking back on a week's worth of local craigslist hijinks...

Rather than nabbing his (or her?) prey the old fashioned way, one wannabe kidnapper is advertising on craigslist instead.

A poster in Aston has an adult cake pan for sale but declined to post pictures, offering instead to email photos to interested parties. Wow—who knew cake pans could be too titillating for craigslist?

The enterprising driver of an obscenely bright car is attempting to sell advertising space on his vehicle. This might be a good promotional opportunity for the local tanning salon.

An "independently wealthy" guy is seeking a "female roommate" to relocate from Philadelphia to his home in rural Florida and spend "intimate time... holding hands." Perhaps he'd have better luck posting in the personals section. Just a thought...

And finally, there is some serious dyke drama in the missed connections section. Ladies, please—you're giving us all a bad name.

That kidnapping post is gross.

 

Meh. I've seen worse. ;)

 

Me too, but not on CL, at least not recently (maybe because I've mainly been trolling the skilled labor section for home repairs instead of adult gigs). I like the "chance to become a regular thing" and "pictures can be taken" parts.

Hmmm... I see a new post coming on: liveblogging my kidnapping. Ha.

 

@Jill: I bet you have, but it still is a bit twisted.
